Been carrying mine for the past few days. So far I'm delighted. The difference in weight between this version and the standard version is (for me) astounding. My standard version was not getting a whole lot of pocket time due to the weight of her. The milled out liners are a very nice addition. The grey g10 is pretty cool, not a big fan of the diamond pattern, and it cleans up nice. I like the worn/dirty look it gets with use. I put her through some food prep just to test the corrosion factor. As you can see in the crappy pics, I've cut peppers, oranges, and (not pictured) chicken (raw and cooked), apples, and cheese. A quick rinse with water and a wipe on my pant leg are all I've done, so far not a single blemish on the blade. I'm impressed with the edge holding ability as well. I've cut through dozens of cardboard boxes, plastic straps, and wood in addition to the aforementioned food prep. The factory edge seems to be holding up quite nice, even able to roughly shave some hair. I'm guessing a fairly toothy edge would be more appropriate for this CPM Cruwear rather than a strop polished edge.
